Isaiah 12:3

A Hymn of Praise

1 And ^ain that day you will say:
“O Lord, I will praise You;
Though You were angry with me,
Your anger is turned away, and You comfort me.

2 Behold, God is my salvation,
I will trust and not be afraid;
^a‘For ^bYah, the Lord, is my strength and song;
He also has become my salvation.’ ”

3 Therefore with joy you will draw ^awater
From the wells of salvation.

4 And in that day you will say:
^a“Praise the Lord, call upon His name;
^bDeclare His deeds among the peoples,
Make mention that His ^cname is exalted.

5 ^aSing to the Lord,
For He has done excellent things;
This is known in all the earth.

6 ^aCry out and shout, O inhabitant of Zion,
For great is ^bthe Holy One of Israel in your midst!”

<< Isaiah 12:2

Isaiah 12:4 >>

Isaiah 12:3

draw water . . . salvation—an expressive image in a hot country. On the last day of the feast of tabernacles the Jews used to bring water in a golden pitcher from the fountain of Siloam, and pour it, mingled with wine, on the sacrifice on the altar, with great rejoicing. This is the allusion in Jesus' words on "the last day of the feast" (John 7:2, John 7:37-39). The pouring out of water indicated repentance (I Samuel 7:6; compare, as to the Jews' repentance hereafter, Zechariah 12:10). There shall be a latter outpouring of the Spirit like the former one on pentecost (Joel 2:23).

wells—not mere streams, which may run dry, but ever-flowing fountains (John 4:14; John 7:38), "Out of his belly (that is, in and from himself)—living water" (Isaiah 42:18; Psalms 84:6; Zechariah 13:1; Revelation 7:17).
